My name is Andrew Plesich. It is truly an honor and privilege to be elected to serve as your Clerk of Courts.

​

The Clerk of Courts Office plays a vital role in the service of justice to all citizens in Jefferson County. There are over 310 sections of the Ohio Revised Code related to the duties of the county Clerk of Courts. There are two main divisions: The Legal Division and the Auto Title Division.

​

The Legal Division maintains the records for the Common Pleas Court and the 7th District Court of Appeals. I also serve as the Clerk for the three District Courts located in Wintersville, Dillonvale, and Toronto.

​

It is the responsibility of the Clerk of Courts to provide access to the records that are filed and maintained in this office and make them available to the public. In addition, the Clerk collects all fines and fees and distributes them to the appropriate local governments and funds.

​

The Jefferson County Auto Title Division is responsible for issuing and maintaining all motor vehicle and watercraft titles throughout Jefferson County. We serve as a Passport Acceptance Agency as well.

​

The Jefferson County Clerk of Courts Offices are committed to excel in service, be fiscally responsible, and fully transparent. We will consistently seek to deliver new and enhanced services, because the citizens of Jefferson County deserve the best that we can provide.

​

My deputy clerks and I are committed to serving you in a timely and courteous manner.

​

Our main offices are located on the second floor of the Jefferson County Courthouse, and our satellite Auto Title office is in Rayland.
